A knife in love

Chapter 556

Seeing Li Qiufeng's astonished face, Situ Qiao smiled wryly, and said, "I've thought about it..."

Li Qiufeng's expression changed, and he said, "Since ancient times, tomb robbers will never end well. Mr. Situ, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing such evil things?"

Situ Qiao said: "Brother Li, I meant to go and rob these people's tombs, but I didn't do it in the end."

Li Qiufeng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: "Fortunately, your conscience found out. Otherwise, if you dig up the tombs of these people, you may not be able to atone for your sins even if you are cut into pieces."

But I heard Situ Qiao say: "Although I thought of these people, it's just that Chi You's battle with the Yellow Emperor is just a folk legend. Where can I find Chi You's tomb? After Bai Qi died, his tomb has become impossible to test. The story of the overlord of Chu and his wife Benevolence, I don't take it. Although Han Xin is proficient in the art of war and has won hundreds of battles, he has no power to restrain a chicken. What's more, when he was alive, he was played by Liu Bang on the palm of his hand. He was neither cruel nor cruel, so he died of a woman. The hand of man is not a hero. Di Qing was bullied by Ouyang Xiu's group of civil servants so that he sulked at home every day, and finally died of depression. He was probably a victim of anger after death. As for Yue Fei, although I am not a good person, for this The general is still respectful, and I will never steal his tomb. The founding generals of this dynasty are all cowards, and they dare not resist after being tortured by Zhu Yuanzhang in every possible way. Go, only the second son of Guan Yu was extremely resentful. After his death, he was still showing his holiness on Yuquan Mountain, shouting "give me back my head". If I took Guan Yu's body and used it as a courage, I would definitely be able to block people from killing people and Buddhas from killing Buddhas. ..."

Hearing what he said, Li Qiufeng sneered and said, "So you ran to Luoyang Guanzhong and stole Guan Yu's head?"

Situ Qiao said: "That's right. After I made up my mind, I left Gaoping City overnight and headed all the way to Luoyang. However, not far from Gaoping City, I found someone secretly following me. At the beginning, I didn't know where the other party came from. , but in a village, I almost fell into an illusion again. Only then did I know that the two people who intercepted and killed me on the ancient battlefield in Changping were chasing after me. I was extremely afraid of these two people, so I solved After getting through the trap, I made a detour to the east, trying to get rid of the two of them. I didn't know that the ghosts of these two people were still there. Although I tried various methods, I still couldn't get rid of them. It's just that although they repeatedly tried to trick me, they wanted to capture me However, the plot did not succeed. Along the way, I fought with them and tried my best to reach Luoyang City."

Li Qiufeng nodded, then continued to walk forward, and said to Situ Qiao as he walked: "Since those two people's martial arts are superior to yours, they didn't use force to deal with you along the way, they just set up traps. I guess it's because The person injured by you is not healed, so he can't hurt you. However, when I fought against him in the small town, this person doesn't seem to be injured. Presumably his injury is already healed. Mr. Situ, you must be careful. "

Situ Qiao chuckled and said, "Brother Li, with you walking with me, I'm naturally not afraid of surprise attacks by these youngsters."

Li Qiufeng snorted, and said, "You have a good plan."

Situ Qiao said: "I finally got rid of these two at the ferry of the Yellow River, and then sneaked into Luoyang City. I stepped on Guanzhong for three days, but I didn't expect those bastards from the Shijiadao to fight with Lao Tzu...and me for some reason. It was difficult, so we had a fight. Later, I sneaked into Guanzhong, and you know everything after that.”

After listening to him, Li Qiufeng compared what he saw with what he said one by one, and they matched as many as possible, and he did not lie.He pondered for a moment, and said, "Before you stole Guan Yu's head, you also stole other people's tombs? Otherwise, Shijiadao wouldn't make things difficult for you."

Seeing that he was lying to him, Situ Qiao smiled and said, "Since Cao Mengde ordered Guan Yu to be buried, the rules and layout of the tomb should be similar to those of the Cao family..."

Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he said, "You stole Cao Mengde's tomb?"

Situ Qiao shook his head and said, "Brother Li, I told you at Hutouyan that Cao Mengde's tomb is hidden at the bottom of the Zhang River. But this old boy is not a good person. I have to dig his grave as soon as possible to see what this old guy looks like. It’s just that this time the matter is urgent. After thinking about it, I thought of Cao Pi. When I arrived at Mount Mang, I secretly dug a tunnel leading directly to Cao Pi’s underground palace. Originally, this matter was done in secret, but a man and a woman had an affair and went to Cao Pi’s mausoleum to do that man and woman. Finally, I found the tunnel I dug. I thought the adultery was exposed. The man was really vicious, he hid at the entrance of the cave, holding a big stone in his hand, trying to smash me to death at the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, I found someone at the entrance of the cave, so I avoided his poisonous hand, and slapped me smashed his brains out..."

Li Qiufeng couldn't bear it, and said: "It's just a villager, why did you take his life?"

Situ Qiao sneered, and said: "This person is so vicious, he has done a lot of bad things on a daily basis. What's more, he raped a woman, so he deserves retribution. I killed this person to do justice for the heavens."

Li Qiufeng knew that Situ Qiao always did things in his own way and only did things according to his own preferences, so he had to keep silent.But I heard Situ Qiao continue to say: "I killed that man, and that woman collapsed in fright, and would only beg me to spare her life. I asked her about her relationship with this man, and knew that she was just an adulterer* *Going to this secluded place to have an affair is not intentional to embarrass me. It is to avoid killing her, so I turned around and went down Mangshan Mountain. Alas, I don’t know that one thought of benevolence has left troubles. Not long after I returned to the inn, the Luoyang magistrate’s yamen The policeman searched all over the city. I eavesdropped on the policeman's words, and only then did I know that the woman went to the government to report the case after I left, saying that she and the man were kidnapped at the village head. The man forced They led the way until they reached the tomb of Cao Pi, and then the man killed the man to silence him. First he killed the man, and then he wanted to kill her. However, she begged hard, and the man knocked her unconscious and threw her among the bushes on the mountain. When she woke up, she went to the Yamen to report to the officials. As the saying goes, the heart of a woman is the most poisonous. When this woman begged me to spare her life, she swore that she would never report to the government. It was just to cover up the scandal of her cheating. Such a set of lies hurt me."

Li Qiufeng thought to himself that you were the first to harm others, but you blamed others, which is really unreasonable.

He pondered for a moment, and said: "Shanxi Qingliang Temple was stolen, could it be that you did it too?"

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said: "The abbot of Qingliang Temple, Master Nianhua, has strong martial arts and is proficient in Buddhism. I would never dare to provoke such a person. Besides, I only like government news. I don't care about Buddhist relics." Half interested."

Li Qiufeng was stunned, and said: "Could it be that the treasure stolen from Qingliang Temple is a relic?"

Situ Qiao nodded and said, "Brother Li, you are on an official job in the capital, so I'm afraid you don't know much about Qingliang Temple. According to legend, there are three important treasures hidden in Qingliang Temple. These three treasures are related to the eminent monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty. There's a huge connection."

Li Qiufeng said: "A few years ago I saw a shadow puppet show in Gaoliangqiao. It was called "The Master Sanzang's Journey to the West to Pacify the Demon". The story is good, but it is full of illusory things, which makes people unbelievable."

Situ Qiao said: "Master Xuanzang went to Tianzhu to obtain the scriptures after going through many hardships. After 14 years of hard work, he returned to China. In addition to Buddhist classics, he also brought back the skull relic of Buddha Sakyamuni. , enshrined in the underground palace of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Daci'en Temple in Chang'an. At that time, Datang was the master of the world and the country was powerful. However, Empress Wu had already developed a desire to usurp the throne. In order to win people's hearts, she pretended to believe in Buddhism and repeatedly Winning Master Xuanzang, donated all kinds of rare treasures. But Master Xuanzang is a virtuous and eminent monk, and he has seen through Empress Wu's ambitions long ago. For the treasures rewarded by Empress Wu, they must either return them as they are or seal them in the Great Mercy Temple. Waiting for Xuanzang After the mage passed away, when the body was cremated, a lot of relics were also melted out.

"Empress Wu knew that Master Xuanzang was a great virtuous monk, so he divided the relics he brought back from Tianzhu into several parts, and distributed them to several famous temples together with the relics transformed by Master Xuanzang after his death. Among them, Famen Temple received the most rewards. As for Qingliang Temple in Wutai Mountain, because it is located in Shanxi, the place where Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty prospered, was also rewarded by Empress Wu. Empress Wu sent his confidant Qiu Shenji to give a Buddha relic, a finger bone relic of Master Xuanzang, and a Xuanzang The cassocks often worn by mages were sent to Qingliang Temple. Qingliang Temple obtained these three Buddhist sacred objects and regarded them as the treasures of Qingliang Temple. People stole it."

Hearing this, Li Qiufeng thought for a moment and said, "How do you know about this?"

Situ Qiao said with a smile: "I heard that lama and the group of Biyunwu whispered about the theft of the three treasures of Qingliang Temple, so I guessed that the three treasures left by Master Xuanzang were stolen. In fact, the three treasures were stolen. In the eyes of ordinary people, things are just ordinary things. But when they are related to Master Xuanzang, they become peerless treasures. Besides..."

When he said this, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "About these three treasures, when I was wandering around in the rivers and lakes, I heard another theory. It's just that what this person said is a little too absurd. It's unbelievable."

Li Qiufeng was disdainful, and thought to himself that most of the things you said in the past two days were extremely absurd, and now you actually said that the things others said were too absurd, it's really strange.

But I heard Situ Qiao continue to say: "Some people say that the treasures that Empress Wu gave to various famous temples are actually magic tools with great magic power. If someone can get all these magic tools in their hands, they will be able to find a treasure. This treasure contains all kinds of rare treasures from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, as well as antique calligraphy and paintings, and even the rare treasure "Preface to the Lanting Collection" written by Wang Xizhi..."

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, and said: "Isn't the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" hidden in the tomb of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin? I heard that Wen Tao robbed the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty and took the "Preface to the Collection of Lanting Pavilion". Then his whereabouts are unknown."

Situ Qiao smiled and said, "That's right. That's why I said that most of what that person said is unreliable, it's just nonsense."
